He acts, presents and can rightly be called a musical star. Yet for Jim Bakkum singing remains his greatest passion. "In my heart I am a singer," he explains.

"A singer who also plays and acts in musicals. But I can never stop making music." His latest achievement: the EP Shoulder, with six traditional, organic songs stripped of all frills. In other words: Jim Bakkum new style

Although Jim has been playing in bands and musicals from an early age, his life changed when he participated in the first Dutch edition of the TV talent show Idols in 2003. A record number of 5.5 million viewers saw him finish second in the finals. Jim is fifteen and incredibly popular. With his first two singles, as the first artist in the history of the Dutch Top 40, he immediately enters the top 5. His debut single Tell Her becomes platinum and for his debut album Impressed he receives a gold record. His second album Ready also reached the top 10. Jim gets his own wax sculpture in Madame Tussauds, wins a TMF Award for Best Newcomer and gives his own concert in the Heineken Music Hall.
